Lena Dunham and Jenni Konner announce their first show since 'Girls'

Jennifer Garner has been keeping a low profile ever since her off-again, on-again divorce from Ben Affleck was finalized, but, soon, she will be back in the spotlight.

Garner will play the role of Kathryn Siddell-Bauers, which has been described as "messy, tough and provocative and really really fun".

It's "Fabulous Deal Friday!" here at the Track - and first up is Jennifer Garner, who's doing quite well since her split from Cambridge's own Ben Affleck. "Now we just have to write her some stunts", Konner and Dunham said in a joint statement.

No word yet on when the show will air but be sure to watch this space.

This marks the first time that the actress has worked on a TV project since she played a Central Intelligence Agency agent in Alias from 2001 to 2006.

The original was a blackly comic show, written by and starring Julia Davis (Nighty Night, Four Lions), about a group of old friends who go on a camping trip in Devon, England to celebrate a milestone birthday.

Lena's work on Girls - of which she was also the star - earned her six Emmy nods, while Jenni for the same show got two. Garner will next appear on Greg Berlanti's comedy film, Love, Simon, which is based on Becky Albertalli's Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda. She's now in production on Lakeshore/STX feature Peppermint, set for release this year. She is repped by CAA, Management 360, and attorneys Harris Hartman and Jason Sloane.
